Oct 2012: We see a pig and Shakespeare's house #1

So we all piled into the car and went to see Sangeeta’s Mecca. Lovely little place

It was market day!

 

And a lovely little clock tower as well

And there is a beautiful looking pig being slow roasted, absolutely brilliant. It was too early so didnt manage to grab some slices of that succulent pork..mmm. But as I type, 4 pork chops marinated in whiskey, honey and mustard are in the oven :)

 

So here’s the cute little clock tower

Hmmm, a gift! very nice

  

My little Alice in wonderland

We walk to Shakespear’s place

Here’s a house next to the main house

And here’s the main house

 

Hmmm, confusing…

the great man’s desk

how the globe theater looked way back then

The man writing on his desk..

 

a bedroom which belonged to his parents

one of the oldest books with his plays..

 

The dining room..

walking to the next house

A lovely little poppy tree

A pear tree

A old gnarled tree

 

I wasnt allowed to take pictures inside :(

So I sneaked some

 

Graffiti…by previous visitors to the Bard’s house

 

Here’s the man himself

 

Nice exhibition

 

A bedroom with Diya checking it out

Interesting bed replica, with strings to tighten the base and a lovely little example of then clothing

 

So many tourists waiting outside

 

the bedroom where the man was born…

 

And the kitchen…

nice, and then we step into the garden and meet a very surprising sight.
